Subject:      Prius question with vanagon content
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I was looking through the Hayne's manual this evening for a parts
replacement for my wife's 2003 Prius. I noticed when flipping through the
manual that the 2004-on Prius have electrical AC compressors. Can anyone
comment on what kind of current it would take to run an AC compressor on
electricity? One of the big problems with diesel vanagon AC, besides the
power issue, is the mounting and location of the compressor and a way to
reliably drive it with a belt. An electrical solution would obviate that.

Any comments?

Jim
